In this firefighter training episode we have Brian Kazmierzak here to tell us about the S.L.I.C.E.-R.S. method and how it incorporates fireground tactics with modern firefighter safety research, the website ModernFireBehavior.com, what has happened over the last 12 months with regards to firefighter close calls, as well as some LODDs.

We discuss:

• What is the ModernFireBehavior.com? Who is that for and how can we use it?


• What is FirefighterCloseCalls.com?


• What are ways we can lessen instances of close calls?


• What are the common causes of LODDs and how can we prevent them?
